Personal Life

His family had a great interest in football and Gonzalez had trials with professional football times, while his maternal grandfather is Laurent Robuschi. At the age of 14 he got injured and turned to music instead after his parents bought him a guitar. Gonzalez developed his interest in music further while at school. Together with Fromageau he formed a post-rock outfit called My Violent Wish.
